Problem with Gallery 3.0.4 and PHP 5.3

I have the same problem since Host Europe updated to PHP v5.3. Is there hope to get the gallery3 running again ;-) ?

Gallery 3-3.0.4 with 857 pics in 15 albums
Apache: 2.2 - PHP: 5.3.14 - MySQL: 5.5.27-1 - Graphics toolkit: gd

we've got the same problem. Support of Host Europe said that they don't think that gallery will solve this problem.
but i can't imagine this.

i've googled and found something, but i don't understand it:
http://forum.netcup.de/anwendung/sonstige-anwendungen/3852-500-internal-server-error-gallery3/

any ideas?

Does upgrading to an experimental version:
http://github.com/gallery/gallery3/zipball/master
help?
More specifically this change:
https://github.com/gallery/gallery3/commit/6b306cddc1f25ecfe054b0a1c9d0dc3536da51f6

I have 2 galleries running on:
PHP: 5.3.15-pl0-gentoo
and
PHP: 5.2.17
5.3.15 is even later than 5.3.14

Agree!

Well not really - uncommenting any occurrence of a call to ob_end_clean didn't help my installation (any, by the way, your's still isn't working either).

Same over here,

I am running 3.0.4 and on top manually commented out any calls "like" the ones in the post you mentioned -> zero effect ...

would really appreciate a solution as well.

Ok then - maybe this is just a sign from above.

I have to say goodbye - I migrated my Gallery 3 to another solution within an hour (I have been lucky, as it's a more or less closed system with some 20 registered users and no bigger integrations, meaning a "standalone" design).

Have good luck in the future!

And thank you for 7 1/2 good years (McRib Joined: 2005-01-31) ...

I did not see anything.
I'm getting frustrated with hosts that just turn the other way.

This is it, what I can change under Scripts at Host Europe:

Einstellung Status
PHP-Errors=Nur ins Logfile schreiben
PHP-RegisterGlobals=Serverstandard
PHP-mbstring.func_overload=Serverstandard
PHP-allow_url_fopen=Off
PHP-allow_url_include=Off
PHP-Magic-Quotes-GPC=Serverstandard
PHP-Zend-ZE1-Kompatibilität=Serverstandard
PHP-Register-Long-Arrays=Serverstandard
PHP-Session-Use-Trans-SID=Off
PHP-Allow-Call-Time-Pass-Reference=Serverstandard
PHP Suhosin Executor Allow Symlink=Serverstandard
PHP Suhosin Session Encryption=Serverstandard
PHP Suhosin Mail Protection=1
PHP Suhosin RPG Max Vars=Serverstandard
PHP5-Extensions einstellen=phtml php5 php4 php3 php
CGI-Extensions einstellen=cgi pl py sh rb
SSI-Extensions einstellen=
Directoryindex einstellen=index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.php4 index.php5 index.wml

I changed this for testing:

PHP-RegisterGlobals=on
http://www.php.net/register_globals

PHP-Zend-ZE1-Kompatibilität=on
(Zend Engine 1.0 (von PHP 4) compatibility mode)

but both with no visible effect/change. I went back to Serverstandard.
So I can't change this:
zend_loader.obfuscation_level_support=2

Is that the final solution or will there be other possibilities to get back access to gallery3?
So I wait to ask Host Europe for a change (if they would do it anyway).

@thf1973

Is it that? How to get this patch to work?

It looks like we could get back our (beloved) Gallery3, thats good news.. !!!

Make the changes as described in the file "/system/core/Kohana.php" or use the attached file (save as *.php).

Also use the latest version of Gallery3, I had to update my installation.

PS.: My web is hosted by HostEurope, too...

Hi, Henry!

I didn't use the snapshot. I just unpacked the lastest version from the official website, deleted the install folder, made the changes in "Kohana.php", deleted the old gallery3 files except the "var" folder from the webspace, uploaded the files to my webspace and that did the job. I don't know what the snapshot did to your database, I hope you have a recent backup.

Thomas

Hi, Henry!

I don't know if this helps, these are the script settings of my virtual server (Virtual Server Managed 5.0 L) from Host Europe:

PHP-Errors Nur ins Logfile schreiben
PHP-RegisterGlobals Serverstandard
PHP-mbstring.func_overload Serverstandard
PHP-allow_url_fopen On
PHP-allow_url_include Off
PHP-Magic-Quotes-GPC Serverstandard
PHP-Zend-ZE1-Kompatibilität Serverstandard
PHP-Register-Long-Arrays Serverstandard
PHP-Session-Use-Trans-SID Serverstandard
PHP-Allow-Call-Time-Pass-Reference Serverstandard
PHP Suhosin Executor Allow Symlink Serverstandard
PHP Suhosin Session Encryption Serverstandard
PHP Suhosin Mail Protection 1
PHP Suhosin RPG Max Vars Serverstandard
PHP5-Extensions einstellen phtml php5 php4 php3 php
CGI-Extensions einstellen cgi pl py sh rb
SSI-Extensions einstellen
Directoryindex einstellen index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.php5 index.wml index.xml

I just rechecked the changes in "Kohana.php": Without the changes the gallery only displays a blank window, with the changes everything works just fine.

Thomas

@floridave
It's Kohana.php, not kohana.php. I wrote it wrong in this posts.

@thf1973
Changed everything as you showed above at the Host Europe Settings -->no success.

Hope I find out, why it don't work in my case.

Hello, I am also a Hosteurope customer using the Virtual Server Managed (5.0?). My two G3 unstallations show empty screens ("The connection was reset").
I installed 3.0.4, replaced the Kohana.php with the one posted here and executed the upgrader sucessfully. Unfortunately the same result, blank screen.

Thanks for all the effort here, but I am also looking for an alternative now.
McRib: What is your solution? To which gallery did you migrate? Could you get you G3 data transferred?

Thanks!
-Stefanix

I made the changes in Kohana.php too and it works as far I see until now. Thanks for that!

Finally I found out, that the GreyDragon Theme which I use and the changes Host Europe made with PHP 5.3 are not compatible.
The last working version of the GreyDragon Theme for me is 2.75. All newer ones causes the blank screen.
[EDIT] Delete greydragon_theme.php in the versions >2.75 of the GreyDragon Theme and all is working again!

@thf1973
The patch you provided works like a charm!
And thanks man for your patience and the details of the script settings from Host Europe. They are needed to run gallery3 successfully!

@floridave
Will this patch find its way into the next snapshots as a standard?

Fine to be back again with Gallery3!

My galleries do work again. I switched my hosting package. I used a "Managed Server" before, which is basically a hosting package with own IP and some guaranteed resources, back to a pure VPS. This means I have to maintain the server, install updates, etc, myself. But I know what's going on and nobody installs updates which are incompatible with my applications.
Still, I don't understand the root cause. I had PHP 5.3 before and after, and I did not do the Kohana.php patch, but it works on the new VPS.
Hosteurope wrote that Gallery3 uses an outdated version of the Kohana framework, which is incompatibe with PHP 5.3, and Gallery should update.

Hi Dave and others,

I don't know too much of this, but this is my understanding so far:
The Zend Loader is needed to load obfuscated PHP code.
I checked both phpinfo() printouts, from my old host, which showed the blank screen, and my new host, on which Gallery3 works OK. On the old host PHP has the Zend Guard Loader extension, on the new one there is no Zend Guard Loader.
OK, the Zend Guard Loader is the problem. But if there is obfuscated code, shouldn't be the Zend Guard Loader mandatory? Why does it work without it on my new host?
Gallery3 works OK for me now, but I'd like to understand the problem. ;) And I guess this issue is not yet resolved for many others.

Attached both phpinfo(); from my two hosts.

Cheers
Stefan

I had the same issue with my provider hosteurope as told above. After patching/exchanging Kohana.php with the provided script, it worked. I could see the start page.

When I tried now to add an album as a new user (with admin rights) I got the following error messages:

ORM_Validation_Exception [ Database Error ]: ORM Validation has failed for items model

    SYSPATH/libraries/ORM_Validation_Exception.php[ 20 ]
    15 * @param Validation $array 16 * @return 17 */ 18 public static function handle_validation($table, Validation $array) 19 { 20 $exception = new ORM_Validation_Exception('ORM Validation has failed for :table model',array(':table'=>$table)); 21 $exception->validation = $array; 22 throw $exception; 23 } 24} // End ORM_Validation_Exception

    APPPATH/Bootstrap.php[ 67 ] » Event_Core::run( Argumente )

    DOCROOT/index.php[ 113 ] » require( Argumente )

Getting back I can see the new album but it is not writable (no upload of photos possible) and there are no options shown which I can change. Only the main album "Gallery" has options I can change.

I too have found that Gallery and PHP 5.3 do not get along on Rackspace's Cloud platform.
I'm using this platform for an important client. Anyone got any good alternatives to get me up and running?

Since HostEurope actualized their Zend Guard Loader Configuration I was able to install the newest G3 snapshot
without any changes in the Kohana.php. I also reverted back to my original Script settings from HostEurope.
Everything just works fine and as expected.
Thanks to all of you for providing parts of the solution to run G3 successfully again!

Can you verify that this fix:
https://github.com/shadlaws/gallery3/commit/110123f7cf7674368459c8bbd236471e01e5c183
works for the segmentation fault in Zend Guard issue. With this fix we are not modifying a core Kohana file.
